Knew a guy that worked in welfare and he said the poor often bought fatty high carb foods because they feared starvation and those foods made them feel full.
Ever notice how our country is one of the few in the world where the poor are fat?
David Meltzer is a fool. While it is true that in the US poorer people tend to be more overweight, there is no causation between wages and weight. In fact, it is much more likely that poorer people are overweight because they are LAZY and would rather eat and watch Oprah than work.
Slash the minimum wage by 50 percent.
Let's see what that does.
Only in America: The fattest people are the poorest people.
While we are at it we need to increase the tax on soda and sugary drinks. And we need to impose a surtax on turkey and all of these yummy Thanksgiving goodies that you will be overconsuming this weekend.
OK this has to be from The Onion right? Even liberals can't be this stupid.
Look at what "poor people" have in their shopping carts.
- - junk food
- - convenience food
- - and, ultra-high-carbohydrate dense "foods" and that's before the alcohol and tobacco aisle.

Heard yesterday that trial lawyers consider these fast food “victims” next best thing after cigarette smokers. No personal responsibility, no free will.
There are virtually no fast foods or prepared convenience foods that are cheaper by weight, volume or caloric value than scratch-made foods. It’s not that these poor fat people cannot afford better quality foods; it is that they are too lazy to prepare them.
I have a “matronly” figure and this article is crap.
I guess this explain the rampant obesity problem in Africa where they earn $1 a month... /s
I'm poooorr! I have no money for healthy food!!!!
Let's just raise the minimum wage to $1000/hr so we can all get skinny and rich at the same time!
Geez, smoothsailing, you come up with real good threads to expose the babbling stupidity of the left. This one is no exception.
OKAY! Let us analyze this. According to David, an insult to the Biblical nom-de-plume of a true king, and Zhuo, whose ancestors or present-day family can pose for Year of the Monkey at anytime or anyplace, have declared that the more poor you are, the more fat you are.
Analyzing that, we should expect that any moment we will see long-supressed pictures of really fat Nazi camp prisoners and gulag prisoners tripping over their stomachs.
David and Zhuo should be embarassed by their stupidity, but I expect that would require some modicum of shame. And I can’t think of a single leftist who has been ashamed of his previous behavior except David Horowitz, a very brave man.
Bravery does not assign itself to American leftists. You could travel to a dozen leftist cities and not raise a single Lincoln Brigade platoon. American leftists are fat and stupid cowards. That’s their weakness. And obuma leads the pack.
The only reason king obuma occupies the Whitehouse is because men - and there are no men amongst the American left - respect the rule of law. If American men decide that king obuma doesn’t respect the rule of law, think French revolution times three.
